Praise for the book: "Rich in imagination and linguistic depth." - Al-Siyasa Kuwaiti newspaper

Synopsis:

Children used to taunt him that his father was a "sea beggar," which became his main motivation for joining the revolution, a place where lineage falls away and boasting is reserved only for comrades and battles. From the city of Salalah in southern Oman, his new journey began after fighting in the ranks of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Oman and the Gulf alongside the revolutionaries of Dhofar. Mustahil, known as "Al-Affar," returns to his homeland. He surrenders his rifle to the government he fought for four years, becoming a simple citizen living with his mother and younger brother in their mud house on the coast. Immediately upon his return, the first place he went was the mosque!
